Late Fall Flowing.

There are some fields that are very
much improved by late blowing, and
others that are greatly injured; it is
important for the farmer to under
stand this. To many writer's strong
ly recommend fall blowing, and speak
of it as though all soils are improved
by it. This is mistake; there are
soils that are injured by fall blowing.
High land, with 81 light, thin soil, when
plowed in the autumn loses q consid-
cradle portion of what little desirable
materials it contains by being blown
away. When rich land is plowed in
the autumn it should be plowed as
early as the first of October and inn
mediately sown with winter rye, SO
that it may cover the land before win
ter, and thus protect it; ifthis bedone
the land will not only lose nothing,
but will gain by blowing in the rye in
the spring just what the land is def
Gent in, partially decayed vegetation.
1t is the heavy, hard soil that is i'm
proved by late fall blowing. Such soil
being turned up just before cold wealth
er sets in, the frost acts upon the hard
Jumps, and to g considerable extent
pulverizes them so that the air and
roots of the plants may more readily
pass through them, and it so ripens
up the soil that q very much larger
portion of it is available for plant
food.
There are some soils that are filled
with destructive worms. Such soil
it pays to pillow just before winter sets
in, so that the worms may be disturb
ed at q season so late that they can
not again penetrate the earth to g.
sufficient depth to shelter them from
the extreme cold, and so they are de-
stroyed. Some fields are SO filled with
the roots of tWitch grass that it Is
very expensive to cultivate it; such
land, if plowed after the growing sea-
son is over, the grass roots that are
exposed to the winter blast will be
very likely to be killed.
The farmer before he plows a field IN
the autumn, should carefully examine
it to make sure that the soil Is OF g.
character TO be benefited by the oper-
alton, or that it is filed with insect Or
vegetable life that it is desirable to
destroy. All land that will be benefit
ed by fall blowing should be plowed,
because the fall is q season when the
farmer is not as busy as in the spring;
but field plowed in the fall Is In no
condition to plant in the spring until
it is cross plowed, or untilit is thor
oughly pulvarized with an improved
harrow. This preparation requires
time, but not so much time as it
would to both pillow and harrow it, as
it should be, even when not plowed
until q short time before it is planted.
Formerly land was planted without
narrowing, but now few farmers of the
present day in the older portion OF the
States attempt to plant even corn
without preparing the land with the
harrow Practical Farmer.

TWO-Headed Child.

Conspicuous among the freaks OF
nature in this section of the state,
says the Asheville IN. c. Enquirer, is
one lust reported from the little town
of Coopers, eight miles east of this
city, on the Western North Carolina
Railroad. Information this morning
reached here that at that place on
yesterday q child with two heads had
been born. Finding the physician, DIR.
r. |. Wilson, who attended the moth
er, he confirmed the report and gave a.
full description of the freak. The
child has two heads, the faces being
opposite. The front face is perfect,
while the one at the back is not regu-
lar. There is only one neck for the
two skulls, and the hair on the fore
head comes down to the eyes. The
arms of this phenomenon are covered
with heavy, shaggy growth of hair
entirely to the wrists. Ruth and
Harvey Lyth, two Woodworking col
ored people, are the parents OF this
strange being. They live in an hum
BILE cabin close by the Suzanne river, in
the suburbs of the village. The child
is an unusually large one, weighing
about sixteen pounds, and apparent
ly two feet long. It is almost white,
and has fair features that are rather
pleasing when the shaggy forehead and
rear head are concealed. Its voice is
not that of the human young, but
suggestive of the lower animals IN it's
strange, unnatural cries. 1t has not
taken nourishment from it's mother,
but greedily swallows what is other.
wise given to it. The mother appears
attached to this strange creature, and
refers to it in terms of endearment.

Save the Bones.

Do not throw away g. single bone
but direct the cook to save them from
the kitchen and table, and put them
In q box or barrel for safe keeping. AS
often as you get q good lot put them
down in strong ashes, layer by layer,
first layer of ashes then layer of
bones, and so on, taking care to wet
each layer of ashes pretty thoroughly
as you proceed. Leave e, little space
at the top of the barrel for holding
water, and pour on some when you
finish packing and some at intervals
as appears to be needed. In three
months time, if the ashes are strong
and you keep them constantly wet,
you will have g. mass OF manure worth
the handling, and good for corn, wheat
or any crop you may wish to grow.
Get all the bones you can to treat
in this way. A good many, no doubt
may be picked mp about the farm,
where at present they are doing very
little good. Hire your boys Or your
neighbor's children to collect bones for
YOU, paving them so much per pound
or bushel. Doubtless the boys know
where there are q good many bones,
at places where the carcass OF sheep,
cow, or horse was thrown after it died.
Bones are a most durable and excel
lent fertilizer, and can be thoroughly
softened by putting them in strong,
wet ashes, such as comes from oak,
hickory and other hard woods. 1t is
cheaper than sulphuric acid for dissolv-
ing them, and much safer to handle.
Don't throw away bones, but save all
and convert them into fertilizer.

Selling Wool.

It makes considerable difference
in the price received for wool whether
tits put upon the market in good con-
dition or not. It's condition largely
determines the value Or price, and the
price we receive determines the amount
OF profit realized from the sheep.
When good, common wool, such as
we may expect to secure from the ave-
rage farmer, is selling at zoe, dirty,
taggy, bury wool sells at 12c or 13c
and from that up, depending largely,
of course, upon the condition it is in.

1n0lan Gu1QeSs
HOW TNRY conn THEIR LITTLE GAME on THE BOARD
NG-HOUSE KEEPERS.
The Indian Department officials have been con-
aderably annoyed by receiving applications from
clearinghouse keepers in this city for the pay
ment of board accounts OF Indians who have been
visiting the city. In large number OF cases
members OF the Indian tribes come to Washington
without any authority from the Department to do
so, andof course, the Government is in no way re-
sponsible for the debts they contract When In
dians come here with the sanction of the Govern
ment, a representative OF the Indian Department
meets them at the depot and conducts them to
some lodging place, where authority Is given to
entertain the Indians and send the bill to the De-
partment. A great many people think that the
Government is responsible for the care OF the In
dians, and under this mistaken notion the Indians
obtain credit which probably otherwise they
would not receive. The Department, however, is
not responsible for this, and, OF course all such
bills are rejected. Recently bill was presented
to the Department by resident of this city for
300 days board for some Indian who came here on
his own responsibility. The bill was rejected and
the boarding g-hOuse keeper feels melancholy.
